SUMMARY:Witness Wednesdays-Plymouth
DESCRIPTION:Please note there will NOT be a Witness Wednesday on Wednesday the 24th or Wednesday the 31st. We look forward to checking back in during the month of January about the status of these standouts! We anticipate that they will continue through January\, weather permitting. \n\n\n\nThe Massachusetts Constitution guarantees equal protection under all laws to all people\, regardless of nationality\, citizenship\, or immigration status. When due process is denied to any group\, it weakens the rule of law for all of us. The League of Women Voters supports due process for all persons\, including the right to a fair hearing\, the right to counsel\, the right of appeal\, and the right to humane treatment\, and that no person or group should suffer legal discrimination. \n\n\n\nJoin us for Witness Wednesdays starting July 23 from 1:00-2:00 PM at Plymouth County Correctional Facility\, where we will peacefully protest against due process violations and show support for ICE detainees. \n\n\n\nSafety Note \n\n\n\nThis is a heavy traffic intersection. We will follow safety protocols to avoid blocking street traffic. Review LWV peaceful protest guidance HERE. We will only be gathering along the sidewalk and grassy areas outside of the Facility and along the Sheriff’s office. \n\n\n\nLogistics \n\n\n\nSigns: We will have due process rights signs available. You are welcome to bring your own signs focusing on policies and not people. \n\n\n\nMessaging: Due to our nonpartisan nature and to ensure a coordinated effort\, we ask that all signs focus on issues related to supporting or advocating for immigrant communities and focus on due process or immigration policies. Anyone who arrives with a sign focusing on a particular politician\, candidate\, or party may be asked to remove their signage. \n\n\n\nParking is available at the Home Depot parking lot or the shopping plazas off of Long Pond Road in Plymouth. Please do not park at the Sheriff’s office or police station. \n\n\n\nAmenities are available at the Shell Gas Station and Alltown Fresh Gas Station\, both on Long Pond Road. \n\n\n\nResources/Toolkit \n\n\n\nView our Due Process Toolkit HERE. \n\n\n\nOur Plymouth IGSA FAQs resource is available HERE. \n\n\n\nDownload the Witness Wednesdays flyer HERE. \n\n\n\nQuestions?

SUMMARY:GAIN Weekly Standout - Northborough
DESCRIPTION:Weekly GAIN Standout – Northborough\, MA \n\n\n\nPlease join Greater Assabet Indivisible Network (GAIN) each Wednesday from 5:30pm – 6:30pm in front of Northborough’s “Old Town Hall” at the intersection of Routes 20 and 135\, next to CVS. Meet our group as we hold our signs\, create community\, educate the public\, and create good trouble. This is a fun-filled event and a busy location with great visibility. \n\n\n\nWe are continuing this weekly standout even while it’s dark – because it’s a great spot. The streetlights and headlights keep our signs visible. Some bring colored lights or glow sticks to make it more fun. \n\n\n\nPlease bring a sign if you have one\, but that’s not a requirement. We often have extras\, and sometimes blanks to create your own. \n\n\n\nNote: If the forecast shows 32 degrees or lower or heavy rain for the standout time\, please consider the event canceled. \n\n\n\nPlease park in the free municipal parking lot on Blake Street\, next to the standout. Sawyer’s Bowladrome at 13 Blake Street is an ideal GPS destination. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for updates\n\n\n\n\nPlease subscribe to our weekly newsletter at www.massgain.org to get all the latest info on all our events. \n\n\n\nA core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
